Di Wilson, founder and managing director of Shop! SA, praised the winners for their outstanding achievements, stating, “Individually and collectively, they represent the future of shopper marketing in South Africa.” The Shop! SA Awards aim to upskill participants, facilitate networking and collaboration, and recognise excellence in the shopper environment industry.

The Jacobs campaign, which ran from July to August 2022, sought to maintain Jacobs’s market leadership in the Pure Instant coffee segment by driving awareness, consideration, and trial, as well as volume sales. The campaign was particularly noteworthy for its insight-led execution that delivered commercial results, which was a key criterion for the judging panel composed of industry veterans and experts.

Tradeway Promotions dedicates this award to its team’s relentless pursuit of excellence and to its clients who entrust the agency with bringing their brands to life. This accolade serves as a testament to Tradeway’s innovative and results-driven approach to shopper marketing.
